Cabinet and galley mods

@LuckyJ Yes it did come with the dimmer. "STANDARD KIT: Come with LED strip,a UL Listed power adaptor and a dimmer". I opened up the dimmer and soldered all the wires inside the housing. I did not have a need for the black cords, connectors and 110v power supply. I also bought some pin connectors to make life easier connecting wires to the LED strip. I think I misled everyone, shoot! now were up to $20.
All the calculations show it can’t work. There’s only one thing to do: make it work.

Nice stuff. Did you find that the stickum on the lights was strong enough that it will not delaminates over time?

@TomD time is going to tell on this one, it is 3M adhesive. I did a Isopropyl alcohol cleaning before installing. Plan B is plastic clips with screws, I really hope it doesn't come to that.

The 3M red is good stuff. If you have failure of the adhesive on your install, switch to the red. That's what you will see on most exterior auto applications such as bug deflectors, window vents, etc.

@CampHub thank you!

David Elliott a T@G owner from Ohio who was at UCamp made these for the swap meet. Serving Tray that fits over the stove for more counter space. Sides are cut out to match the burner controls. Very beautiful woodwork.

Real world testing of the stove top wind screen proved it to be very effective!! A stiff breeze across and into the galley had very little effect on the flame. After years of dealing with this annoyance, I may have found the solution.
Thanks for the idea!
Have fun!

@mgreen2 I really like dual use products. Your device exceeds that with 3 uses I can see. Stove cover, cutting board and serving tray. Very well done!

I love the water tank idea but am nowhere near handy enough to try those cabinetry mods.

The wind guard around the burners--is that a regular oven pan with the bottom cut out. What size was the pan? Is it a 9x13?
-
@BlueTAG The shameless knockoff of the award winning @LuckyJ wind guard is made from a 4' piece of 1 1/2"x1/8" aluminum strap fitted to the outside of the wire rack above the burners, the 2 ends are then attached to each other with screws or rivets. No pan cutting required! For a less permanent modification I have seen folks use aluminum foil folded into a hoop and placed around the burners. A must have mod in any windy condition.
WOW just catching up on posts after a slight hiatus. @BlueTAG it looks like @WilliamA has started a cottage industry of making these things. http://teardrop-trailers.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/315/burner-goes-out-on-stove/p1

Camphub - Do you happen to remember the length and width of the stove? My camper is in storage for the winter, so I cannot measure. I thought I would make one of these this winter.
-
@BlueTAG our grill over the burners measures 12 7/8" x 6 1/4".

Last summer we figured out that if it was a warm day the hatch would expand and you could just pull the back open very easily. Surprised it did not just pop open. I added a washer to the bottom of the catches which fixed it.
The other day the better half asked if I could attach her cosmetic bag/kitchen kit to the wall in the galley. It's great to be able to remove for cleaning and clear so you can see everything easily. I used canvas snaps and the same holes that held the hooks.
Moved the hooks up so those can still be used.

My mom used to come into the kitchen and say: "are you cooking or did the snowplow just hit a steer?"
I also had the thing with the hatch latches barely catching the loops. I ended up putting some small nuts under them to bring the catches up a bit. I also got rid of the utencil hooks because my tools would swing around on them and scratched the crap out of the wall. Probably should have seen that coming but didn't until the damage was done. 😕

WilliamAFrom the begining, I always saw those hooks as an location use. and store them back for the road.

LuckyJ,
NOW you tell me!

CampHub, I like the LED lights in the galley. I'm thinking about running the lights across the back behind the hinge as well. Any thoughts about that idea?

@larry64801 I think @WilliamA added lights behind the hinge. Not sure if he removed all the screws from one side of the hinge to install. I went for what I thought would be enough light to not be dangerous around the stove and grab another beverage out of the cooler without tripping. I am sure adding the led strip behind the hinge can be done without issue. Adhesive led tape in tight quarters was not something I wanted to take on. Let us know how you make out and post photos. Good luck and enjoy!

Nice mods, but beware of the invaders in the night as bugs know what we do in galleys and you'd think you were opening up a beer tap as they love it back there! Enjoy and thanks for sharing!

Any thoughts about that idea?I installed a Patriot LED strip across the top of my galley and hooked it up to the power for the water pump. To do all of that, I simply got the stick-on 3M LED strip, stuck it up behind the hatch on the trailer side where it's hidden and ran the wire through a small hole into the "dead-zone" behind the rear wall, then down to the switch for the water pump where I tapped both the hot and ground circuits for power. I put the wireless remote for the RGB LED lights on the shelf in the galley with 3M adhesive strips and ran the sensor for the IR control box out through the power wire hole so the remote can "see" it. It was easy and has been there without incident for a year and a half.

So the better half and I use a Discada also known as a Skottle or Cowboy Wok for cooking now and then. Everyone likes standing or sitting around watching the show. It's super easy to clean up also. The trouble was no propane connection at the back, hauling an extra propane bottle is not something we like doing. I removed the LP safety valve that btw gets extremely hot, and installed a tee, 2' LP gas hose and a quick disconnect.

I used 3M trim tape to put it in there. Super easy. Been there for doing in 2 years now with no issues. Turn it on to yellow to prevent attracting bugs..

Well done! Quick connect at the rear is brilliant.
